Historical Discussion / Ancestors serving in the Napoleonic Wars
« on: February 18, 2014, 02:24:41 am »
I recently found out that one of my ancestors served in the Saxon Army during the Napoleonic Wars.
In the family tree I found at my grandparents house it was remarked that he served in the Regiment "Prinz Max" (I assume an abbreviation for Prinz Maximilian) from 1807-1817, so 10 years in total. It was especially noted that he fought in Wargram, Russia and France.
After doing some research I found out the Regiment Prinx Maximilian is the 5. Königlich Sächsiches Infanterie Regiment "Prinz Maximilian" which was garrisoned mostly in Chemnitz and Freiberg, bigger towns roughly 20 kilometres from the town where my ancestors grew up and lived for more than 3 centuries.
As already mentioned he was part of the Saxon contingents in Napoleon's Army in 1809 (fought at Wagram) and followed him into Russia in 1812. As only the two Grenadier companies joined Napoleon on his Russia campaign (the normal line infranty was garrisoned in Northern Germany) he must have been part of them. He was one of only 50 survivors that made it back to Saxony alive.
One of the many unclear issues is whether he fought at the Battle of Nations too, but I didn't find any sources on the 5tes participating in there. After the Battle however Saxony switched sides and from then on they joined the allies against Napoleon. After the Waterloo campaign the 5. was assigned as garrison troops in France where he stayed apparently until 1817.
If anyone has any sources on this regiment or where I could find more information (like muster rolls, battle history etc.) to see what rank my ancestor had and so forth it would be greatly appreciated.
And now I am of course thrilled who else knows about his ancestors serving in the Napoleonic Wars.

Off Topic / Are Germans allowed to be proud of their nationality?
« on: January 19, 2014, 11:54:51 pm »
As a German in all my life I have experienced that Germans are not allowed to be proud to be Germans. Be it in school, college, holidays or just in the general news or whatever. As soon as you say you are proud to be German you get labelled a fascist pig and people say it's wrong to think so.
Now is my question: How do people from other countries see this? Is it really fair to judge today's people for deeds their great-gradparents and grandparents did?
P.S. I dunno if this is the right section of the forum to post this in. Feel free to move it around, mods.
